Pool level The "normal" band shows this lake's operating pool. Summer full pool 330′ and winter full pool 326.4′ are the operator's (USACE) published values. The low mark (326.4′) is a LakeStatus-defined "typical operating low," not a surveyed or official limit — it's our estimate of where shallow ramps start to get risky. The current level is live from the operator. This is context, not a guarantee; always confirm conditions before you launch.
